Changes to AH lock out level 1 alts

4.1: Level 1 bank alts will no longer be able to use the World of Warcraft Auction House, if plans by Blizzard-Activision are pushed through.

Despite a protest on the battle.net PTR forum, Blizz seem set to force through this change which means our level 1 alts will not be able to post, and you will have to use a level 85 character in order to use a max level AH.

Blizzard Blizzard received positive feedback to the minimum item level for dungeon heroics, and will be implementing a change in minimum level to 85 and minimum item level in order to use the Auction House. Your faction Auction House was always meant to be only for the majority of players with the right item level. With this change, gold farmers and players who use the Auction House as a mini game will need to get an average item level in order to interact with the economy. Minimum item level will be 360 which we feel is the right level for the trade economy to ensure a quality experience. World of Warcraft Remote Auction House will remain unaffected by these changes. We’re very happy with the challenges that lie ahead for players wishing to use the Auction House.

Blizz have obviously been waiting to do this since the day they changed the wait time for payments from AH items from instant to 1 hour. Personally, it’s going to be a royal pain in the backside to change all my auctions from my level 1 and 5 bank alts (ex bank alts now, gasp!) to my main, which is the only level 85 I have with the minimum item level gear score.

What does this mean for you?

You need to either

Level your bank alt to 85 and buy BoE Epics until you get 360 gear score; or
Use your main as your banker

How much gold are you worth?

A beginner’s gold-making equation:

Item + your value = more valuable item.

therefore

more valuable item – original item value = how much you are worth.

The very basic rule of making gold in World of Warcraft is

Increase the amount that you are worth.

Examples:

Cloth + your tailoring = tailored item

5g+U=10g.

U=5g

Player wanting portal + you casting a portal = he pays you 20g

U=20g

You buy 5 items 25g total + you resell them on AH = You make 50g

U=25g

You are worth 25g (per “X amount of time”.) If you do something worth less than 25g, you’re wasting yourself!

A player whispers you “Can you portal me to Dalaran for 20g?” If you do the portal for him then your value decreases by 5g. You lose 5g that you could have been making in the time you took to make him a portal.
This is why I use my time to put 20 pre-made items on AH instead of flying all over the world finding a player and making him a single item for a tip. Either that, or I’m just unsociable.

I want to use my time to do the activities that increase the amount that I’m worth.

Another equation for you, as I’m in the Math mood

item resale value – original item price = U > selling price of ore you could mine during that time

Translated that means You are worth a hell of a lot more than running around farming crap.
